Josh Gross Joins Press Row

Every Wednesday, Administrative Editor Jordan Breen welcomes a member
of the mixed martial arts media into “Press Row” on the Sherdog.com
blog. This week, Breen is joined by Josh Gross of ESPN.com.

Breen and Gross discuss the story that will shape and form MMA in
2011, Zuffa's purchase of Strikeforce. The two discuss why the deal
happened now, the events leading up to the sale, and what the
immediate future will hold for Strikeforce. They also discuss the
notion of such a deal being "good" or "bad" for MMA, and whether or
not it's a valid question to pose.

The two also discuss the UFC's television deals and potential
partners on the horizon, the future of women's MMA and whether or
not there are viable promotions to become competition for the UFC
in the near future.
